The Other Pack ~Teen Wolf fanfic~

Chapter 7: Mistletoe

(Lani's pov)

I walked through the school doors and straight to my locker. I opened it and out if nowhere Mercury spilled out if it all over me and the floor. The kids around me laughed, but just kept walking. I went to the office and Derek brought me new clothes. While he was sitting in the office he leaned over to me.

"Is that..."

"Mercury." I said, finishing his sentence.

"What's up with you and this... Mercury man?" He asked.

"All I know is that he definately wants me dead." I said, then a light bulb clicked. "And he has Liam's phone."

I pulled out my phone and called Liam's. Surprisingly, he picked up, but I could only hear breathing.

"Why do you want me dead?!" I yelled into the phone. He let out a loud, menacing cackle.

"So You are like the others."

"Others?!" I asked. He let out anither laugh.

"Be at the school." He said.

"What time?"

"See the glimmer in the nights dew,
Fear the eyes that are watching you." He said, then laughed, then hung up. I changed and went to my History class. I didn't listen, I was trying to figure out the riddle.

"Miss Hale?"

"Hmm..?"

"I asked you a question."

"Umm... could you repeat it?"

"Who was the sixth President of the US?"

"Umm... John Adams?"

"Correct." The word echoed in my head.

"Correct?!" I said, a little louder that I wanted to.

"Yes ma'am." The teacher said, writing something on the board. I just sat there, completely shell shocked. I started doodling about the riddle on my paper. I drew two eyes and started messing with the paper. I turned it sideways, then saw it.

"8 o'clock..."

I waited the rest of school out then went to see Liam. I walked into the hospital and Melissa came to me.

"How's he doing?" I asked.

"Better."

"Can I see him?" I asked.

"We're not taking visitors right now." She said. "Sorry, he's in a critical state."

"I thought you just said he was doing good!"

"I said better, better doesn't mean good." She said. "He started having a reaction to the pain medicine."

"What are the ingredients?" I asked.

"Come with me and I'll show you." She said. We walked back into a pharmacy and she handed me a bottle. I read through the ingredients.

"There." I said pointing at an ingredient.

"Alder concentrate?"

"Alder is another word for Mistletoe, and Werewolves CANNOT have mistletoe, it puts them in a kind of trance..." I said.

"What... kind of trance?"

"Well A while back my pack got poisoned and they all got super overpowered... maybe that's a good thing, Liam will heal faster." I said. "Or it could be a bad thing because he could probably murder everyone in Beacon Hills with his pinky finger so..."

"Have you ever put Mercury and Mistletoe together?" She asked.

"No. I didn't know I was suppose to..."

"Whatever effect the Mistletoe has on the consumer will be switched. It will have an adverse effect." She said.

"Which means..."

"He'll get super weak, since it's the opposite of overpowered."

"So... should I be worried?" I asked.

"Not if the last dose we gave him hasn't kicked in yet." All of the sudden someone started screaming in a hospital room. "I think it might have." She said. We ran down into the hospital room and Liam was gone. All of the sudden something hit me.

"That's what they wanted..." I mumbled. "He knew this would happen, they've taken him and are gonna up the Mercury in his system until the effects of the mistletoe aren't even there."

"If they aren't there couldn't have they just done that in the first place?!" She asked.

"The Mercury would've killed him, they needed something to balance it out, like mistletoe." I said. "I have to go!" I said. I ran out of the hospital and into the woods. I howled and my pack ran to me, all except for Liam of course.

"Guys..." I said out of breath. "I need your help. We have to trap Liam in the school, we aren't strong enough to take him."

"What happened?" Issac asked.

"Poison, poison, and now more poison." I said.

"So he's dying?" Scott asked.

"No, actually it's the exact opposite of dying." I said. "He's getting stronger. Meet me at the school at 8, okay?" I asked. They all said okay then we went home. I went to my house and up to my room. I started getting ready for the fighting I was gonna have to do.

"Others..." I mumbled to myself. 8 o'clock came sooner than expected, and I made it to the school. I went in and saw my pack. We all exchanged eye contact and went inside.

"I'm here!" I yelled.

"You're quite good at riddles, aren't you?" The robotic voice said.

"Who are you exactly?" I asked, realizing I had never asked the question before.

"Your worst nightmare." He said. All of the sudden five or six teens, including Liam, stepped out from behind him. "Did you think I'd be coming alone?"

"The question is, Did you think I'd be coming alone." I said. My pack came and stood beside me.

"Now lets get this party started..."
